About this listen

The dynamic running duo Alexi Pappas and Lisa Thompson joined me in studio during Boston Marathon weekend as they prepared to race their fourth Boston together. Alexi, a former Olympian representing Greece, and Lisa Thompson, a competitive visually impaired runner, met years ago through 'Team With a Vision' and have been racing around the world since. Today we dive in to:

  • How the two first met & how they knew that they would be unstoppable teaming up together
  • Their tether and communication system that helps them navigate crowds and streets
  • The ways each runner supports the other throughout the 26.2 miles
  • How Alexi decides what to illustrate for Lisa
  • Race day brain games -- positivity alphabet, "bird", etc
  • How they both started in the sport of running & how they ultimately got hooked on the marathon distance
  • Glitter!
